Frequently Asked Questions

The Network is a group of horse enthusiasts, from business owners to weekend riders that include all breeds and disciplines. We work in a collaborative effort with the County Extension Agents to promote equestrian activities and provide useful information to all horse owners. Our Mission is to protect the horse population, provide recreational opportunities, encourage sound management practices, promote agri-tourism and interest in the local horse industry and encourage the Northern KY region to become a model equine community for all disciplines and breeds.

How can I get more involved?

There are several different committees that meet usually once a month. These committees include, Events, Show, Membership, and Trail Blazers. Each committee has a page with description of what they do. Every committee is always happy to have new members to help out.
